b'[After talking to the brilliant string of guests the past several weeks, Patrick\\u2019s brain needed a rest\\u2014oh and a concussion didn\\u2019t help matters. To hold you over until next week, here is one of the most interesting but less well known conversations from the invest like the best archives.]\\n This week\\u2019s episode is the most unique to date. My guest is Boyd Varty, who grew up in the South African Bush, living among and tracking wild leopards. The main theme of our conversation is tracking, and how the same strategy for pursuing animals in the wild can be applied to all aspects of our lives. Boyd\\u2019s family has been tracking animals for four generations, and he is bringing what they have learned to a larger audience around the world.\\n The episode includes the best answer I\\u2019ve ever heard (which comes when I ask Boyd to describe his most memorable experience). We also discuss the dangers of an achievement or goal oriented mindset, and what he learned from spending time with Nelson Mandela as a boy.\\n This episode is one I hope you share with those you love, because I think Boyd\\u2019s ideas will have a profound impact on many who are thinking about what to do with their lives\\u2014whether they are young or old.\\n Please enjoy.\\n \\xa0\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub.\\n Follow Patrick on Twitter at @patrick_oshag\\n \\xa0\\n 0:00 \\u2013 Exploring Boyd\\u2019s childhood through a story about a black mamba \\n 3:13 \\u2013 Looking at the early history of Boyd\\u2019s family and their foundation in the bush of South Africa \\n 7:00 \\u2013 The launch of their safari business \\n 8:06\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0How they connected with an ecologist that encouraged them to \\u201cpartner\\u201d\\xa0with the land and how that led to the leopards of\\xa0Londolozi\\xa0 \\n 14:25 \\u2013 Expanding their model to other areas and creating an economy of wildlife.\\xa0 \\n 15:12 \\u2013 How Boyd discovered what he wanted to do with his life\\xa0in healing\\xa0\\n 15:20 \\u2013\\xa0Cathedral of the Wild: An African Journey Home by Boyd Varty\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 \\n 20:49 \\u2013 The concept of Ubuntu, the African value \\u201cI am, because of you.\\u201d \\n 25:18 \\u2013 How Patrick got to meet Boyd \\n 26:15 \\u2013 Exploring the idea of building your villages and some of the forces that combat that in our daily lives.\\xa0 \\n 31:23 \\u2013\\xa0The difficulty in following your inner compass\\xa0\\xa0\\n 32:06 \\u2013 Mr. Money Mustache \\n 36:55 \\u2013 Looking at Boyd\\u2019s early experiences in tracking\\xa0and how he applies those principles in his current life.\\xa0 \\n 42:23 \\u2013 Exploring the two different types of confidence\\xa0and why there\\u2019s a benefit to throwing yourself into difficult situations, especially as a tracker.\\xa0 \\n 47:13 \\u2013 Identifying the places where you can be relentless in life\\xa0 \\n 49:56 \\u2013 The single most memorable tracking experience for Boyd, which is an incredible tale of tracking lions.\\xa0\\xa0 (Also one of the best answers to a question yet)\\xa0 \\n 1:01:49\\xa0\\u2013\\xa0What can people do to get the holistic experience of the African bush\\xa0\\xa0\\n 1:02:20 \\u2013\\xa0The\\xa0PResencing\\xa0Institute \\n 1:04:15 \\u2013 Ways that people can learn more about Boyd.\\xa0\\xa0\\n 1:04:31 \\u2013\\xa0Ted Talk\\xa0\\n 1:04:43 \\u2013\\xa0The book\\xa0\\n 1:04:48 \\u2013\\xa0Workshops/Tracking Retreats\\xa0\\n 1:05:05 \\u2013\\xa0Seminar in Deer Valley\\xa0\\xa0\\n 1:05:13 \\u2013\\xa0Martha Beck\\u2019s work\\xa0\\n 1:05:15 \\u2013\\xa0Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaim Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want\\xa0\\xa0\\n 1:05:36 \\u2013\\xa0Website\\xa0 \\n 1:06:56 \\u2013 When Nelson Mandela stayed with his family after getting out of prison \\n 1:13:34 \\u2013 Kindest thing anyone has ever done for Boyd \\n 1:15:15 \\u2013 A story of how his friend Sully saved his life from a crocodile\\xa0\\xa0\\n For more episodes go to InvestorFieldGuide.com/podcast.\\n Sign up for the book club, where you\\u2019ll get a full investor curriculum and then 3-4 suggestions every month at InvestorFieldGuide.com/bookclub.\\n Follow Patrick on Twitter at @patrick_oshag'
